CHAPTER ONE

"Why haven't the 2 warriors reported to me yet? Didn't I tell you, I need to be updated with everything that goes around here ?. God do me a favor and contact the Blue Moon Pack I need to speak to their Alpha "I screamed at my betas, why won't they do anything right?

I got up from my leather chair and headed towards my room, I shut the door and removed my clothes, and hopped in the shower. I loved a cold shower, I don't know why but I wouldn't say I liked warm showers. The cool water soothed my dry skin while managing to leave a tingly feeling. I got out after 20 minutes and changed into a pair of jeans and a plain black full-sleeve shirt.

My hair dried quickly within 40 minutes and got back into its naturally curly auburn color that hung by my waist, I collected it all up and made it into a ponytail, then twisted it into a bun. I haven't worn my hair down in front of others in years. I learned the hard way that leaving my hair open is never a good choice, I shuddered at the memory but quickly tried to shift my thoughts. I went down the stairs right before I could open the front door.

"Dawn where are you going, weren't you supposed to meet with mom at the park? "my sister's voice questioned behind me. I slowly turned to meet a pair of grey eyes who looked at me not impressed, her eyebrows were raised giving me a questioning look.

"Oops guess I forgot, I have a meeting with the council to discuss the training centers. I will meet with her later." before she could respond to my excuse, I left the house; quickly got on my bike, and left.

The wind blew through my face cooling my warm skin, I loved the wind. My family was surprised when they found that my element is wind, as for about 10 years, it hasn't been seen in many people. Since karma hates me, I ended up with wind as my element. I can't even put it to good use since there isn't anyone to train me—ya Sad life.

I had reasons for not speaking to my mother, but that's not my concern now. She made herself clear when she said she wanted nothing to do with a daughter like me, who has ruined their so-called reputation.

Now I am glad she did, I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for all those awful words she screamed at me. She made her choice that night, I don't have to or want to hear anything from the woman who left me 2 years ago. I have to fix some things, plus I heard that some other wolves have been messing and harassing some females outside the college grounds.

No one hurts the females of my pack, I do want to protect everyone. But....when it comes to females I do get overprotective. It's just an instinct.

After all, no one protected me but that doesn't mean I shouldn't.

I don't need to attend these meetings but be aware of what's going on in my pack. Trust no one, it's safer that way, I don't have to be worried about someone harming me.

I parked my bike and entered the hall where all the members were sitting around the table and saw the familiar face of my father, his serious amber eyes softened after looking at me, and I took my seat in front of them. Just after I seated, one of the warriors entered the hallway to deliver the paper and reports.

My lord! these few days the complaints and reports keep increasing only. It's going to be a long evening, it looked like there were 200 files.

My father kept his eyes on the paper, his grave expression used to give me the heebie-jeebies until I realized that I had inherited the same expression, he didn't even spare me a glance. I know why I tore his family away from him. It would be weird if I maintained any contact with them after what happened, I do meet my baby cousins secretly, but I wish everything would go back to how it was.

I missed my brothers, aunts, nieces, and nephews. I miss the hours of laughing, food fights, and sneaking out. I wish it was different. But the world isn't a wish-granting factory. I want many things but I don't need anything right now. I would love to feel safe again though. But I know that's not gonna happen have accepted it, and now all I need to do is move on.

Most of the files were about harassment, the urgent clinic needed, requests for donations, and training programs for the pups. It was a lot, but I needed to manage. My pack is counting on me, I can't and will not let them down. I promised I would fight for them in any way possible.

My sister and I took a lot of traits from our father, he was a very kind man, he always told me to be independent, always wanted to help others. To me, he is my father but to him, I am no longer his daughter. I guess he has his reasons, I am not forcing him.

Sometimes I do wish I could be his little princess again, because of me the great bond my sister and he had is also gone. After everything that happened he has been cold to me, I have never seen him smile. I wish I could be a better daughter, I know I disappointed him, I was never the son he wanted. But when my dad needs me I will be there.

"Dawn, this is our newest recruit. He's my uncle's son, he has the qualifications to be a council member ."So he's in some way my relative, I skimmed through his file, and as my father said, he is indeed very well qualified to be a council member. He's 28, named Reece Carter, I don't like the way he's looking at me, but I need to be professional. I extended my hand to welcome him.

My dad asked me to show him around the council building, well forced me ."So Dawn, do you have a mate ?"My eyebrows shot up to his direct question, does he even know who he's talking to?

"Umm..I don't have a mate . Also, we have a separate room where wolves can smoke, so I would have to ask you to not light that cigarette ".So much for manners. I see him smirk and confusion fills my mind. What's with him?

My body jerks to the right and both my wrists are slammed on to the wall, being held over my head, I look to find a disgusting pair of yellow eyes staring into me.

"You've got some guts, ordering me around. Don't you know, women shouldn't like that. Stupid girl "I shut my mouth from barfing in his face. Bad choice of words Reece, very bad choice of words. I bring my elbows together, putting as much pressure on his head as possible, his grip on my wrists loosens and I take the chance to take out my gun which was tucked beneath my shirt

"Honey, how am I stupid? I am not the one with the gun on my throat "I smile cunningly at him, a drop of sweat drips from his hairline and I give myself a mental pat on the back.

"Why do you think a lion never attacks a lioness ?.I'll tell you why because it's the female who everyone fears"
